Yellow Line Bengaluru station price map May 2026: where to buy and what to pay
BMRCL Yellow Line opened 11 August 2025 (19.15 km, 16 stations from RV Road to Bommasandra). Namma Metro hit 10,48,031 single-day rides the same day. Station-wise pricing in May 2026: Bommasandra Rs 7,200 per sq ft (+17.1 percent), BTM Layout Rs 11,000 (+32.5 percent), Hebbagodi plots Rs 7,650-8,900. The honest station-by-station buyer map.
On 11 August 2025, Namma Metro recorded 10,48,031 single-day rides, surpassing the previous peak of 9,66,732 set on 4 June during RCB's IPL celebrations. The driver was the Yellow Line, which had opened at 8 AM the same day. By May 2026, BMRCL had inducted the tenth Yellow Line train at Hebbagodi depot, bringing peak frequency down to roughly 8 minutes. For Bengaluru buyers tracking the Electronic City corridor and Bommasandra extension, the question is no longer whether the metro will arrive. It is which station-area pricing has already absorbed the metro premium, and which still has runway.
The short answer. BMRCL Yellow Line opened 11 August 2025, covering 19.15 km and 16 stations from RV Road to Bommasandra. Station-wise pricing in May 2026 is uneven: Bommasandra Rs 7,200 per sq ft (+17.1 percent YoY), Hosa Road Rs 10,885 (range Rs 6,600-18,285), BTM Layout Rs 11,000 (+32.5 percent), Huskur Road Rs 6,400-7,000. Hebbagodi BMRDA plots jumped to Rs 7,650-8,900 from Rs 6,000-6,500 pre-opening. The next 12 months will reward selective station-by-station diligence.
What is the Yellow Line operational status in May 2026
The Yellow Line runs 19.15 km from RV Road in south Bengaluru to Bommasandra at the Electronic City southern terminus, covering 16 stations. The Rs 7,160 crore Phase 2 corridor opened 11 August 2025 with five trains in service, with the tenth train inducted at Hebbagodi depot in April-May 2026. Peak frequency improved from 12 to 8 minutes. Key interchanges include RV Road (Yellow-Green) and Jayadeva Hospital (Yellow with future Pink and Green crossings). The Silk Board interchange with the future Blue Line is still under construction.
How have station-area prices moved since August 2025
| Station | Per sq ft (May 2026) | 12-month change | Rental yield | Walk distance to good projects |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| BTM Layout | Rs 11,000 | +32.5% | 3.5-4.0% | 500-900m |
| Jayadeva Hospital | Rs 10,200-12,500 | +22% | 3.2-3.8% | 400-800m |
| Hosa Road | Rs 10,885 (avg) | +18% | 3.5-4.2% | 600-1200m |
| Bommasandra | Rs 7,200 | +17.1% | 4.5-5.2% | 500-1500m |
| Hebbagodi | Rs 8,500 (plots Rs 7,650-8,900) | +25% | 4.2-5.0% | 400-1000m |
| Konappana Agrahara | Rs 8,200-9,800 | +19% | 4.0-4.8% | 300-800m |
| Huskur Road | Rs 6,400-7,000 | +15% | 4.8-5.5% | 500-1200m |
| Singasandra | Rs 8,800-10,500 | +20% | 3.8-4.5% | 400-1000m |
Which Yellow Line stations offer the best yield vs appreciation
For yield-focused buyers, Huskur Road and Bommasandra anchor the highest rental yield band at 4.5 to 5.5 percent, driven by the 150,000-plus Electronic City tech workforce. For appreciation-focused buyers, BTM Layout's 32.5 percent year on year jump signals the strongest realised return on an established mid-segment pocket. Hebbagodi is the sleeper bet, with both yield and appreciation running 18 to 25 percent. Hosa Road's wide price range (Rs 6,600 to Rs 18,285) reflects a mature mixed-use micro-market where buyers must pick projects, not pockets.
What about BMRDA plot pricing in the Hebbagodi belt
Plots in the Hebbagodi and Konappana Agrahara catchment moved from Rs 6,000-6,500 per sq ft pre-Yellow Line opening to Rs 7,650-8,900 by May 2026. That is a 23 to 28 percent realised gain in under 12 months on plotted developments. BMRDA layouts (not BBMP) command 5 to 8 percent discount to comparable BBMP plots due to khata and infrastructure differences. Buyers should verify BMRDA approval, sale deed clarity, and confirm the layout's road access width before committing.
Yellow Line vs Green Line for South Bengaluru buyers
The Green Line (operational since 2017, ending at Silk Institute) serves Kanakapura Road, JP Nagar, and Banashankari extensions. The Yellow Line serves the Hosur Road corridor and Electronic City employment anchor. For buyers commuting to Electronic City, Yellow Line is the clear pick. For buyers commuting to JP Nagar or Banashankari, Green Line still wins. The Jayadeva Hospital interchange will eventually connect both, but the interchange experience adds 12 to 18 minutes vs direct line journeys.
Should I buy near a station or near an interchange
Interchange stations command higher pricing but with rental yield compression. Jayadeva Hospital (Yellow-Pink-Green future interchange) is priced 8 to 12 percent above identical single-line stations. RV Road (Yellow-Green) is 6 to 9 percent higher. For end-user families, interchanges offer maximum optionality. For investors prioritising yield, single-line mature stations like Bommasandra and Huskur Road offer better cash-on-cash returns.
Buyer checklist for a Yellow Line station-area buy
- Verify walking distance from project gate to station entry, not Google Maps line distance
- Confirm BWSSB Cauvery Stage 5 connection in writing
- Test the metro vs road commute both ways at peak hours
- Check project elevation against the BBMP flood map
- Verify pedestrian access plan from project to station (often blocked by ORR or arterials)
- Confirm parking allocation at minimum 1.0 per unit
- Check resale liquidity for identical unit configurations in the same tower

Frequently asked questions
Is the metro premium real near Yellow Line stations?
Inside 750 metres walking distance, the premium is real. Stations with proven last-mile access (Konappana Agrahara, Hebbagodi, Huskur Road) show 12 to 18 percent price premium against identical stock 1.5 km away. Beyond 750 metres, the premium drops sharply. Buyers should verify the actual walking route, not Google Maps line distance, before paying any metro premium.
How much extra is the interchange premium?
Significant but project-specific. Jayadeva Hospital, which will become a Yellow-Pink-Green Line interchange after Pink Line opens in August 2026, commands a 6 to 10 percent additional premium over comparable single-line stations. RV Road (Yellow-Green) is the second-highest. Silk Board (Yellow-future Blue) is still under construction. Interchange premiums need 18 to 24 months to fully price in.
Which BHK should I buy near a Yellow Line station?
It depends on use. For end-user families, 3 BHK on a metro corridor offers better long-term family commute and resale. For investors, 1 BHK and 2 BHK with rental cover are stronger because tech-employee tenants prefer single-bed and twin-share configurations. 1 BHK rental yield averages 4.5 to 5.5 percent against 3 to 4 percent for 3 BHK on the Yellow Line.
Yellow Line vs Pink Line, which is better for buyers?
Yellow Line scores better on connectivity to Electronic City employment, with 1 lakh plus daily commuter base. Pink Line's southern leg (when it opens in August 2026) will serve Bannerghatta Road but lacks an equivalent employment anchor. Yellow Line is the higher rental yield play. Pink Line is the higher appreciation upside play, with greater optionality from future extensions.
